FYI, that's why people bought consoles back then. All games made for it would 100% run on it for ever, no upgrades, no OS, no bullshit.
Sure no mods and "community patches", nor some kinds of titles anyway. But back then modding wasn't a thing as it is now, anyway.
Nowadays hardware obsolescence on CPU is pretty much unheard of (thanks Obama!), and you only need to buy a new GPU every 2 years, so it's a great time to be a PC gamer.
And also nowadays consoles are far too much PC-y to be worth looking at (at least imho).
If there are games coming out that are OpenGL 1.2, single-threaded (not counting I/O threads if any), that uses a few hundreds megs of RAM and aren't too big on storage space, I'll be very interested
